Sistahs Shed - Summer is almost upon us. We are showing more skin - not much but a little more - sleeveless shirts, shorts - and maybe for some of you more than that - so we need to learn to be good friends with our bodies.
Below - I'm frosting my best friend's hair with Frost and Tip - Something I did once a month to keep her looking beautiful - 1966.
How do we do this? First, we have to nourish our body and pamper it - time for that new haircut, massage, manicure or a few good soaks in the tub. You can do your own mini spa one day a week - buy some of those packaged masks - jazz up your bathroom with a bouquet of flowers and incense or scented candles. Learn how to love yourself just as you are.
How are you? Well, I like to think that we all have been given unique bodies due to many factors - but whatever body that we have, we need to nourish it. We need to be creative and treat it with respect. Today for the Sixth Wave, I'd like you to tell me what you have done recently or plan to do in the near future to pamper that beautiful body of yours. This is a simple step so let's get it done early this week so we can move on to the Seventh and final step before Summer Session begins! Salud

i hope u have a healthy poetic mind in ahealthy beautiful body
Dr. Saxena, I thank you for your comment and hope that at least it's a healthy mind and a healthy body!!! Salud
Oh my God....I remember frost and tip! I used it! Those were the days...now I'm a natural lady..no need for fake peroxide or color...I yam what I yam. Take it or leave it.
hi Jan - well, after a certain age, the hair does naturally streak itself but if we want to spruce it up - that's ok too - my 99 soon to be a 100 in August neighbor has dark red hair now - dyed! It's cut very short and she looks and says feels lots younger - she hated her gray hair even though I always thought it was a nice colour! I'm sure you're very beautiful...oh yes, Frost and Tip and Aqua Net and ironing the hair and white lipstick on and on - I was there too! Thanks Jan! Salud
You guys are...well...totally...like...uh...HOT!!! What a babe you are in this photo!
Marilee - you are truly more than kind but thanks so much for saying that - we sure thought we were hot stuff (not really!) but we had some great times - still do! Salud
That's a blast from the past, eh?
Big blast from many years ago - long ago and far away but they were still the good ole days! Thanks Marianne! Salud
That's a neat pic...you both are so pretty! I need to do everything you said above to get ready for summer!! I like your article too Mariana!!

Deb J. Awww you're so sweet to wish me a great week as Mondays are usually one big jumble for me - seems I want to try to get everything done on a Monday!!! Love this picture - you know all my kids have tails, huh? Ok hope you join Shedding Light this summer! Salud
Wow. It has an aura of golden time.
when happiness could not be measured with moments or any matiral marks. hug the memories
Poddar - you are wonderful with those words - I'll come check out your most recent! Thank you. Salud
It's so unusual for women to talk about hair that I'm totally shocked to the gills you mentioned this, and rather specically I might add. The icon and the people shown do not seem the same, so of course I wondered if you had hired actors who must have wondered if Afredo sauce made blonde hair turn into spaghetti.
William, you're such a treat to wake up to - indeed alfredo sauce - now, I'm getting hungry! Well, that was me back in high school - lol...thanks for coming by - now, I'm smiling!!! Salud
I just got through reading the book on
The art of extreme self-care : transform your life one month at a time by Cheryl Richardson and I'm taking notes and starting a journal.
wow - I have to get this book - sounds pretty good! Salud
Sistah Mariana, just realized there is a Sixth Wave posted! I remember the days of Frost & Tip, I used to love to do hair as a girl. Mom and cousins used this stuff :) Years later, I found my stepsons using it in the bathroom (and asking me for help) during that blond hair streaked guy phase (ugh) in the 90s, LOL. I'll get to work!
Sistah, I wanted to make this very simple because I'll be announcing the 7th Wave soon and that will be it until I structure the Summer Session and we'll have a few new folks coming in - I hope the rest can finish up everything so they can move on too! So far, you Philly and Ashley are the only originals left going forward...but maybe some of the old ones will join us in the summer...it will definitely be a ten pound challenge!
thanks Sistah - good ole Frost and Tip was around or a while - may still be out there -plastic cap and knitting needles -lol...all for the sake of vanity but it was all fun and I still like to do hair and makeup on others - manicures/pedicures, facials - I should have been a cosmetologist! Salud
Frost and tip...I do remember helping my friend with hers. What a long time ago, but still fresh! Pampering sound good, girl...we deserve it!
Hi Miz Krista - thanks for commenting - I hope everyone gets their sixth wave done soon - many hugs, SAlud
Your excellent article has been featured in the group Fans of Mariana T. Thanks for sharing it with the group.
Vicky - ohhhh thanks Sistah!!!! you're the best! Salud
Latest psychology reports indicate blonde women make me hungry for italian food. Ussually spaghetti inless she has curly hair, then of course it's macaroni. It might sound chessy, but you do have to wonder about my noodle and why I'm using Alfredo sauce again.
Seriously you took me in my college days when these things created a great bond between friends... an essential phase of life...wanna continue this again.Thanks,Mariana.You have an ancient soul can't figure out who but a diva ,for sure.
hugs
Dear Buzzy - your comment certainly made my whole day! A diva? Oh thank you so much...Salud
